Mariana set out on a journey in search of a way to perform an act of true altruism. She helped those in need, donated her time and money to worthy causes, but nothing seemed to work. The curse of the medallion haunted her and the illusion of happiness faded more and more. On the verge of giving up, Mariana met a group of children living in extreme poverty. The children had nothing, but their smiles were radiant and their kindness was contagious. Mariana decided to dedicate her time to helping the children and other children in their situation.
